If it can't find the setup parameters, don't worry. Nothing wrong with it.Mafiah, try checking the suggestions on this page. They deal with lockups.

And the reason it won't change anything is because it already was installed (and tehrefore didn't need to change anything). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafiah Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 Ok people thanks for all of your help.Yesterday my motherboard just STUFED up for no apparent reason.(MY ASUS A7V266-E) so i got a new one Epox 8K5A2+, and that seems to solve all of the problems with all of the games(well so far i played emperor 3 times and for like 2 hrs each time and it went alright)After all the problem was in the hardware part of the computer. (The actuall part of the motherboard which got wasted was the AGP slot... who knows why .... sure got me there..)Oh well... thanks anyways ppls ~later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
